• Also, an earth leakage circuit breaker must be installed to prevent possible electrical shock accidents.
• No user-serviceable parts inside. Contact your ANTARI dealer or other qualified service personnel when maintenance is required. Removing upper cover or modifying any part of the machine randomly might cause danger and disable the spray-proof and dust-proof functions. spray-proof means basically, the IP-1000 can be operated outdoors or in humid environments as long as an earth leakage circuit breaker is installed. However, please do not put the whole machine into water as this model is not completely waterproof.

Danger of Burns

• This device is for adult use only and must be installed out of the reach of children. Never leave the unit running unattended.
• Never aim the output nozzle directly at people.
• Fog machine output is very hot. Avoid coming within 50 cm of the output nozzle during operation.

Danger of Explosion

• Never add flammable liquids of any kind (such as oil, gas, perfume) to the fog liquid or fluid tank.
• Use only Antari high-quality, water-based fog liquid that your dealer recommends. Other fog liquids may cause clogging or damage the fog machine.

Unpacking & Inspection

Open the shipping carton and verify that all equipment necessary to operate the system has arrived intact. The shipping carton should contain the following items:

1. One unit of IP-1000 Fog Machine
2. Fluid tube
3. Fluid filter
4. User manual

If any equipment is missing contact your ANTARI dealer immediately. Before beginning your initial setup on your ANTARI fog machine, make sure that there is no evident damage caused by transportation. In the event that the unit’s housing or cable is damaged, do not plug it in and do not attempt to use it until after contacting your ANTARI dealer for assistance.

Setup

• Remove all packing materials from the shipping box. Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed, especially in the nozzle area.
• Place the fog machine on a flat surface.
• Place the fluid tube into a properly filled fluid tank.
• Fill with only Antari-authorized Fog liquid. The Antari IP-1000 only works with uncontaminated Antari FLR or FLG Fog Liquid. Other fluids may cause spitting and other clogging problems and could result in the production of an unhealthful fog. The use of other fluids will void the warranty of the Antari IP-1000. When filled, please place the cap back on the liquid tank.

Operation

• Connect the fog machine to a grounded power outlet. As soon as the unit is plugged in, the heater starts to heat up. When the red light of the controller goes off, the heating process is completed successfully.
• Press and depress the switch on the remote control to adjust the fog output.
• Note that there are no timers or any other controllers available for this model (no optional accessories).

DMX Connector Pin Assignment

DMX Operation

Important:

• Always monitor the tank fluid level as you are fogging. Running a fog machine with no fluid can permanently damage the unit.
• Never drink fog liquid. If it is ingested, call a doctor immediately. If fog liquid comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

Performance Note

• All fog machines develop condensation around the output nozzle. Because this may result in some moisture accumulation on the surface below the output nozzle, consider this condensation when installing your unit.
• All fog machines may sputter small amounts of fog occasionally during operation and for a minute or so after being turned off.
• All fog machines have a recycling period after long bursts when the machine will shut itself down for a short period in order to heat up again. During this time no fog can be produced.

Cleaning and Storage

Cleaning your fog machine regularly can help you reduce the frequency of parts replacement and the cost of maintenance.
After 40 hours of operation, we suggest you use distilled water to clean the heater as the following steps:

1. Fill proper distilled water into a clean tank and connect the fluid tube of the fog machine to the tank.
2. Run the fog machine in a well-ventilated place until the tank is empty.
3. Use dry cloth to wipe the fog machine.

If the fog machine is not in use, please clean it before storage. Store the fog machine in a dry and cool place. At least run the fog machine once a month.

Please save this user manual carefully.
